Problem: Just outside Nashville, Tennessee, a development of nearly 700 homes faced the failure of a recirculating gravel filter wastewater system. There was an immediate need to treat 120,000 gpd with flexibility for expansion as the community grew.
Solution: A BioMicrobics MyFAST 12.0 system was installed with a poured concrete tank partially set in the ground, to be housed in a decorative building. Effluent discharged to a large drip irrigation field. The high-capacity fixed activated sludge treatment system efficiently breaks down organic matter and nutrients and was easily installed with low life cycle costs and reliable performance despite variable flow.
Result: With capacity up to 160,000 gpd, scalable to 2 mgd, the system provided a robust, long-term solution. 800-753-3278; www.biomicrobics.com
